Yeah I’m not sure then, I’ve never had this problem with my ducks

Oh my. That's exactly what she does. That's bad news for her, as, from my understanding, Asperpillosis is very difficult to completely get rid of. Did the vet indicate Asper before she died or was it just diagnosed with the necropsy? If the vet did indicate Asper, was there a protocol.When my welsh harlequin had a respiratory infection the only initial sign was a frequent hiccupy noise. The vet could hear slight respiratory noises with a stethoscope after several months passed, and then after a few more months passed we could see changes in her x-rays. After about a year she was open mouth breathing and we could hear her breathing noises without a stethoscope. She did have aspergillosis, diagnosed by the vet via necropsy. We live near Seattle where it is very wet.
I'm not saying I think your duck has aspergillosis, just that this is my experience.
My Solrikka looks so much like Gingersnap, with that beautiful flash of blue/purple feathers on her wings.When my welsh harlequin had a respiratory infection the only initial sign was a frequent hiccupy noise.

My pleasure, but I'm very sorry to hear the symptoms sounds the same.Oh my. That's exactly what she does.

Thanks so much for the video and info. Even though it's bad news, it's incredibly helpful.
Now I am worried! I have a duck that makes sounds like that some times!When my welsh harlequin had a respiratory infection the only initial sign was a frequent hiccupy noise.

oh no! If it is much quieter than Gingersnap and when eating dusty food I might not worry.Now I am worried! I have a duck that makes sounds like that some times!
And just because I would worry doesn't mean it is an actual problem. After what I've gone through with aspergillosis and my ducks, if my ducks even think about making an odd respiratory noise I worry.Now I am worried! I have a duck that makes sounds like that some times!
I would post a video to so you could hear but I can't because I don't have a youtube.oh no! If it is much quieter than Gingersnap and when eating dusty food I might not worry.
If it is loud, they shake their heads after, they do it frequently or when not eating, I would worry.
Gingersnap did start by doing it when eating - but not exclusively with dusty stuff. She did it even when foraging. At first she did it only about 3 times a day.
